Medik8s mission is simple - beautiful skin for life - which is why they consistently harness new, youth-boosting breakthroughs to keep your skin stronger for longer with three key technologies: vitamin C, sunscreen and vitamin A. High-end formulations at purse-friendly prices, this attainable range means you dont need to choose between pounds and performance: the CSA method (C in the morning, followed by sunscreen then vitamin A in the evening) makes beautiful skin aber easy simplifying your daily regime while fast-tracking your path to a healthy complexion. Whats more, the brand is committed to making sustainable changes from ethical sourcing to minimal waste so your beauty routine is as clean as your conscience.
With four strengths to suit your skins needs (and its tolerance!), Medik8s Crystal Retinal will super-charge your ritual with stable retinaldehyde to stimulate your cells to manufacture precious collagen which bolsters skins resilience and density. Level 3 stars 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde and is great for beginners who're dipping their face in the retinol water
Retinoic acid is the form of retinol your skin can utilise (currently only available via prescription because of its potency) however, cells convert retinol (vitamin A) into retinaldehyde then retinoic acid with remarkable results its just that they take a bit longer. Thus, by skipping a step in the conversion process and harnessing encapsulated retinaldehyde a revolutionary new form of vitamin A Medik8 speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with tangible changes in four weeks of use. With a unique crystal structure that is readily metabolised by enzymes when applied, Crystal Retinal ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating risk of irritation. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the scaly side-effects), this fortifies skin overnight and delivers a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E makes this perfect for those who are keen to embark on their retinol journey.
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and daccolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser.
Crystal Retinal application should be phased in gradually, and only in the evening. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for one week after.

Great!
Love this!  I received a sample and loved it so much I decided to purchase full size.  I followed the instructions and I’m now using it every night.  I have really sensitive skin so was happy that my skin didn’t react to this.  My skin feels a lot smoother and brighter since using this. Â

Easy enough retinal
I haven't been using it enough to really feel a difference in my skin. I am just starting using retinal, and this is what I got to start with. The directions say to do 2 weeks twice a week, then 2 weeks every other night to get your skin acclimated. At the end of my first 2 week period, my skin started to be a bit sensitive so I have taken off about 4 nights and hope to readjust my skin and get a healthy barrier and then restart my first 2 week period. However, it has been simple enough to use and follow the directions.

Superb retinal and not irritating
I find this superb retinal product. Not irritating although do check your own skin with a patch test. Rich in moisture as well.

Pricey but smoothing
I’m roughly 5 weeks into using this, and I use it twice a week. It has been effective in decreasing scarring and my skin feels smoother. I use at nighttime and follow up with vitamin c serum in the morning and another serum (with grape) every day. Altogether I think it has been beneficial to help my scars fade much more quickly. As I’m in my mid 20s I think it is definitely worthwhile investing in skincare to soak up long-term effects.

Retinal
Only Just started using so can’t give a full review on it but I’m on week 2 & have noticed my skin is a little clearer already, make sure to build up your tolerance & not use everyday to start then follow up with a good moisturiserÂ
